Edge Functions Engineer

• Work on Supabase Edge Functions — server-side TypeScript functions distributed globally at the edge, close to users. • Power use cases such as webhook receivers, AI inferences, OG image generation, and real-time bots (Slack, Discord, etc.). • Build on top of Supabase Edge Runtime, an open-source Deno-based runtime written in Rust that runs JavaScript, TypeScript, and WASM services. • Help developers build truly global applications by distributing both compute and data globally, making infrastructure concerns like regions, cold starts, and resource provisioning fade into the background.

• Bring at least 5 years of backend or systems engineering experience with strong fluency in Rust and TypeScript. • Demonstrate experience with V8 Isolates, Deno, and JavaScript runtimes in general. • Have experience operating infrastructure at scale — Kubernetes, AWS, Cloudflare Workers, Redis, or comparable systems. • Hold a strong vision for how compute and data can be pushed to the edge.

• Bring experience building developer-facing CLIs or front-end tooling that sits on top of an infrastructure product.

• Evolve Supabase Edge Runtime — an open-sourced Rust-based host that runs the Deno isolate, manages the main/user runtime split, and enforces per-request memory and CPU limits. • Implement monitoring, alerting, and OpenTelemetry tracing across the runtime, then use that visibility to drive optimisations that improve latency and reliability. • Work closely with the Deno and other open-source teams, contributing upstream and relaying user requirements. • Participate in an on-call rotation to keep Edge Functions healthy in production. • Manage and improve features like scheduled functions, background tasks, WebSockets streaming, ephemeral file storage, and custom routing. • Integrate functions more tightly with the rest of the Supabase stack — Auth, Postgres, Storage, and Realtime. • Expand functions to support more use cases including AI inference, MCP servers, hosting simple websites, and URL shorteners. • Improve the developer experience of developing and debugging functions locally through the Supabase CLI, including DevTools integration, logging, and production parity.

• Work fully remotely from anywhere in the world with a WeWork membership or co-working allowance. • Receive ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. • Use a tech allowance to set up your ideal work environment. • Access 100% company-covered health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents. • Attend annual company off-sites in a new city each year. • Work flexibly and asynchronously with trust to manage your own time. • Receive an annual professional development allowance for courses, books, and conferences.
